WHERE & WHY?

Set at the tranquil Agriturismo Ramuse, deep in the hills of Le Marche, enjoy a range of daily seminars and workshops from a panel of experts ready to share their knowledge and experience with you. We will give you the tools and information needed to prepare you whenever you are ready to make the move to Italy, in a relaxed, friendly environment surrounded by great company and amazing Italian cuisine!

Owning a holiday home in Italy is life-enhancing, but the process can be quite lengthy and slightly daunting if you don’t know where to begin or which specialists to approach in house-searching, negotiating, restoring, and paying taxes and fees. Meeting useful professional contacts and fellow expats who will share their own personal stories gives you the best start possible to support you in planning your own Italian adventure!

You will also come away with a clear picture of what type of property you can get for your budget, as well as gaining an insight into the best way to restore and renovate a home, along with what costs are involved.

You will make friends and contacts to call on for advice, suggestions and tips, even after the workshop ends and you’ve returned home.

David & Gary

D&G DESIGN

Organising this workshop brings their team of experts together in one place and aims to arm buyers with all information they need to make the move to Italy. They guarantee plenty of fun, good food and wine too!

Gildo Ercoli

REAL ESTATE EXPERT & PRESIDENT OF MIA

With a successful career exporting black and white truffles to London restaurants and the city’s Borough Market, Paolo has worked with chefs such as Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, Raymond Blanc & Gino Dicampo and is an expert food connoisseur. Returning to Le Marche in 2004, he restored his grandparents’ farmhouse and turned it into Ramuse, the Agriturismo he runs today. With an emphasis on quality local produce, well cared for farm animals, and ensuring that all of his guests take a piece of Le Marche away from them when they leave, Paolo's enthusiasm for his venture is infectious.

Move to Italy Experience Venue: Agriturismo Ramuse

[/vc_column][/vc_row]

[/vc_column][/vc_row]

Accommodation owner Paolo used to travel between London and Le Marche shipping truffles to top chefs. Nowadays, he can be found at his grandparents farmhouse, lovingly converted into the Agriturismo Ramuse – a rustic haven with restaurant that provides locally sourced, organic food.

Served on long rustic tables beside the fire or beneath the vine-covered terrace, sample fresh produce grown on Ramuse’s farm while listening to engaging experts share their wealth of knowledge with you.

We guarantee that you will come away from the workshop not only armed with plenty of house-buying facts, but feeling the kind of rejuvenation that only a few days in Le Marche’s countryside can bring.

You will also have made plenty of new friends and useful contacts, not only our team of experts and fellow guests, but with the donkeys, chickens, truffle-hunting dogs and cats that share Ramuse with Paolo and his visitors.

Food & Drink

All food served at Ramuse is either grown at the farm or sourced locally. Paolo prides himself on only offering food from suppliers who care about quality. In good weather, four-course evening meals are served outside, while during cooler months they are taken in the indoor dining room.

Environment

As an eco-friendly agriturismo, you won’t see any plastic at Ramuse. You will see plenty of animals at its farm, stars in the night sky due to no light pollution, a pond with its own eco- system, and friendly pets. One of our favourites, Melissa, is a Sardinian donkey who strolls around the grounds with her daughter, Coccola. They love to be petted, and fed treats of fruits and vegetables.
